5/2: Open Game Thread

Pettitte can't miss any bats. Mussina's finished. Hughes is hurt and bad. Kennedy is healthy and bad. Chamberlain hasn't started a Major League game in his life. The rest of the depth is in the persons of Kei Igawa, Darrell Rasner, Jeff Karstens, and a bevy of other people who aren't good.

The Yankees are vulnerable.* More vulnerable than they've been in nearly 15 years. Being without Jorge Posada certainly isn't helping matters. The team is still good, but it doesn't look great, and it doesn't look like it has the potential to be great, not with a pitching staff that underwhelming. There was a time to be afraid of these guys, but with our 1-2-3 going up against a bad rotation and a lineup that's missing both Posada and the best player in baseball, we have the upper hand, and we need to take advantage. We can't lose this series and say "oh, it's New York, that's to be expected." It's not to be expected. Losing this series would be inexcusable. If you're heavily invested in winning now, and you can't beat the Yankees when they're at their weakest and you're near full strength, then something's gone horribly wrong.

There's no such thing as a must-win series in May, but if there were, this would be one of them. No more excuses. The winning needs to start now, because we're already in a big enough hole, and we can't really afford for it to get any bigger. Beat the Yankees. Beat the Yankees and start the season you were supposed to start a month ago.

LET'S GO MARINERS!!

* According to BP's adjusted standings, the Rays have been the best team in the American League, and that's with zero innings from Scott Kazmir. Perhaps more impressive is that they've also had the best team defense in the AL after being historically awful just last season. To think that all this time even I may have been underrating them.

The Angels, by the way, have dramatically overachieved.

According to BP’s adjusted standings, the Rays have been the best team in the American League, and that’s with zero innings from Scott Kazmir.

Oakland is the best team according to real wins/losses (tie with Angels), W1, W2, and W3.

Erikkkkk Bedard has given up six runs this season and three home runs

Paul O'Neill said he was going to beat up Tim Davis, a former Mariner reliever with poor control

for throwing it in too tightly. Marzano, a little guy and our backup catcher at the time said “You’ll have to go through me first!” and decked him then the benches cleared.

Mike Winters is the home ump and his strikezone is a bit wide, but narrow top to bottom, so Wang pounding low sinkers would be likely to get more pitches called a ball.

Evolution of terminology

Not everybody uses the term “faggot” to slur gay people. Even if the origin of the term is rooted in that, terms can evolve past their original prejudicial meanings.

Fans are typically idiots.

Bigotry was one of Jeff's no-nos.

I know the intent of the word in many cases isn’t necessarily in that vein, but it’s still one of those words I’d classify as at least rooted in a bigoted idea.

This is why the definition of an error is retarded.

its like a drop on the turn of a double play

can’t assume the call would have been out, and the runner didn’t advance a base.

This game is a giant heaping load of horse shit.

Bedard Day isn’t supposed to be shit on like this.

Hmm... Needs more Bonds.

those 3 runs should never have happened

put in Cairo for batting power now to show his old team he still has it

this game isn’t ove ryet

Bedard ought to just say he's injured and quit for the year.

This team is not good enough to make the playoffs.

I'm switching to the Jays-White Sox game.

Marcum’s throwing a pretty good one.

I like using semi-colons; they make me feel smart.

Keep the calender on the screen.

It’s much more entertaining than this game.

This team is bad at playing baseball

It’s just a pity that that’s what they spend most of their time doing

That's true.

This team would be awesome if they didn’t have to play baseball.

Marcum still pitching well (8 Ks, 1 BB)

but he has lost the no-hitter.

To what you posted earlier..

No, he is not always 88-89

He usually sits 91-93, I was commenting on this with JAC over at prospect insider. He said he could dial it up to 94-95 when he wanted to too, and this could be an issue.

by ASUBoyd on May 2, 2008 5:11 PM PDT up reply actions  

I said 89-91

he isnt sitting 89-91 though

Hes at 88-89, and 91 is usually his bottom end of his fastball.

by ASUBoyd on May 2, 2008 5:14 PM PDT up reply actions  

I was hoping we would destroy him

so I could say something like “the Sea Men exploded all over Wang” and make some gay jokes.

But, alas, no.
